Zoltan Gera has turned down Fulham’s offer of a new contract, according to his agent.

The Hungarian international will leave Craven Cottage on a free transfer when his current deal expires this summer having fallen down the pecking order after Mark Hughes replaced Roy Hodgson.

Gera’s agent Vladan Filipovic said: “I am surprised about Mark Hughes’s decision. In recent weeks the management of Fulham tried to convince us to sign a new contract. We didn’t sign it, because we have already knew in January that Gera will leave.

“Three years ago, when Zolly signed with Fulham, he said he wanted to stay in England, but now he doesn’t rule out going to another country. He wants to play in a team which figures in a European cup. We don’t rule out it will be an English team, but we have other options.”
